Saturday lacrosse

This is Jackson's first season of lacrosse and he has really enjoyed it so far. He's getting better each week. It's a fun game to watch even though I don't completely understand all the rules and regulations. Sean's baseball game was at the exact same time as lacrosse so no bball photos this week.

Quick weekend report

Thursday night was the science fair at the boys school. They each worked with a friend and came up with interesting projects that they were able to demonstrate and explain independently (mostly). Friday morning was the school jogathon. It rained-well, actually misted-the entire time. Therefore, I only took about 3 pictures and they weren't good ones. The kids had a great time...the adult volunteers were soaked and in search of warm places to seek refuge as soon as the event was over. However, Saturday morning, the weather gods finally took pity on the poor Northwesterners who were starved for sun and warmth. Sunshine arrived just in time for baseball opening day and a lacrosse game. Sean played catcher and got a hit every time he was up to bat. Jackson scored a goal and did some great passing.
We ended Saturday with date night: the boys with a babysitter, happily playing their new Wii game and mom and dad out at a great, new-ish French restaurant (called St. Jack) drinking yummy cocktails and eating some really good food.
Sunday-again, sunny! 80 degrees! We took a downtown bike ride that involved crossing two bridges and also timed it just right to see the drawbridge go up to let a large ship pass through.

Double digits

How can this boy be 10??!!! We are so proud of our sweet, smart, curious, creative, snow-loving boy. He was an easy, sweet baby and is still smiling and brightening our lives every day. Happy 10th Birthday, Jackson!!
